## Job description

info_outline About the job Google Cloud's software engineers develop the next-generation technologies that change how billions of users connect, explore, and interact with information and one another. We're looking for engineers who bring fresh ideas from all areas, including information retrieval, distributed computing, large-scale system design, networking and data storage, security, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, UI design and mobile; the list goes on and is growing every day.

As a software engineer, you will work on a specific project critical to Google Cloud's needs with opportunities to switch teams and projects as you and our fast-paced business grow and evolve. You will anticipate our customer needs and be empowered to act like an owner, take action and innovate. We need our engineers to be versatile, display leadership qualities and be enthusiastic to take on new problems across the full-stack as we continue to push technology forward.

As a Senior Staff Software Engineer for AI/ML Security, you will serve as the primary technical visionary for Model Armor and Sensitive Data Protection, supporting the strategy to secure LLMs against prompt injection, jailbreaking, and data exfiltration. You will manage architectural issues by integrating filter-based defenses into scalable, observable, and explainable distributed systems that protect enterprise customers at Google Cloud scale.

Beyond technical execution, you will navigate extreme ambiguity to drive overarching business strategy and lead high-stakes, cross-Google initiatives. You will have a master-level ability to negotiate and forge consensus among researchers and engineers, translating security goals into measurable, high-impact solutions for the generative AI era. Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
